Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation
Diagnosed in December 2023 with moderate to severe Tricuspid Valve regurgitation, but not any real symptoms.
Now having shortness of breath, & swelling of my abdomen which takes away my appetite. I’m being given Diuretics to help with the swelling. The Cardiologist is scheduling a TEE ( transesophageal echocardiogram). Anyone out there have any experience or recommendations on this Valve disease?

I am still here. I have no further answers as of yet about treatment other than diuretics for fluid retention.
My condition is being monitored. The tricuspid valve is the last valve that is being studied & taken care of, I was told mine isn’t in need of the intervention as of yet. However, the valve problem has changed me, by taking my energy from me as a formerly active person.
I am a Vintage lady at 81 years of age, so I’ve had a good long life.
My thoughts & prayers go out to you & hopefully you will benefit soon from the research that has & is being done on the Tricuspid valve.
